What Is Calcinosis Cutis?
8. Complications
As mentioned, calcinosis cutis can be very painful for some people and make life difficult for them. For example, it will sometimes form in their fingertips and this can make it painful for them to hold on to objects. They can sometimes appear around the joints and this can also be very painful in some situations.
While the other types of calcinosis cutis tend not to be dangerous, calciphylaxis can be very dangerous indeed. The blood clots that the condition can cause can lead to life-threatening events like a heart attack or stroke. The ulcers the condition causes can also lead to some very severe infections.
